William, now his liege lord, would be obliged to protect Harold, his new knight. But Harold would have had to make his own promises, and there seems no doubt that he did swear some sort of oath to the Duke. To the medieval mind, there was nothing more serious than an oath, and the tapestry maker makes it clear that this was a religious act by having a witness point to the word " Sacramentum". Harold' s oath was indeed a kind of sacrament since it went right to the heart of the matter. What would happen to England after Edward died? Now the English said that Harold agreed to be William' s man only in Normandy and that this had no bearing on the English succession. The Norman chroniclers, though, said Harold had sworn to help William take the throne of England. |
